The title says it all. Sounds monstrously, but in reality benchmark results are not so promising. Maybe this is due to the fact that there aren't any official ATI X2 drivers at all, but time will show. Test system: INTEL Core 2 Duo QX9650, MSI X48 Platinum, Samsung M378BZ873CZ0-CF8 2x1024MB DDR3, Seagate Barracuda 10 SATAII 750GB (ST3750330AS/P，7,200rpm), Windows Vista. Read the full story here.

I've fried plenty o' parts when not OCing. Need to start doing it again to avoid problems...

This review smells fishy...
Especially when the result are so poor and one of the main "benchmark softwares" is a game notorious for being ATI "unfriendly".
I'm used to trust Tom's Hardware less and less with each "review" they post since that famous "AMD fries, Intel works even without a cooler" review.

I know, I was trying to point out that some of their articles are bordering the pointless.
To explain (a bit off-topic): who cares what happens to your CPU if you remove the heatsink while it's working... To me, that article was just as bad and pointless as a Home Shopping Network ad...
Sorry for not being more specific in the first place!

The reviewer in that site does not have the Quad CFX drivers. Those are currently internal only and there are no reviewers (as of writing this post) that has them. Terrible editor and terrible review.
